Emma's First Birthday!

The day before we left Seattle was Emma's 1st Birthday! Wow!! Dave & I cannot believe how fast the time has gone. Our little baby is growing up so fast!! She has been such a wonderful addition to our family and has brought more joy to us than we ever could have imagined! :) God really has blessed us!!!!

We celebrated her birthday with a party! We invited over lots of family and friends to celebrate Emma's special day with us. We really enjoyed getting to share this with them and we want to thank you all so much for making Emma's 1st birthday so memorable!

Of course the two things that Emma loved most about her party were cake and presents! :)

She didn't realize at first that she was supposed to eat it, so she just squished it around in her hands for a little while.

She soon figured it out! :)

She LOVED it!!

Then it was time for presents. Emma with all of her loot:

She had so much fun opening her presents!

Her two favorites of the day (although she really loves them all) were her Fridge Farm and her Cheerios! :)

We look forward to celebrating Emma's birthday with all our California friends next week! :)
